NANORACKS, LLC

Nanoracks, LLC specializes in the design, integration, and deployment of microgravity research payloads and small satellite systems for space-based experimentation. The company delivers end-to-end mission services for scientific investigations aboard the International Space Station, including hardware development, payload integration, in-orbit deployment of CubeSats, and post-mission data handling. Technical expertise spans microgravity life sciences, human-machine interaction in space environments, and the development of standardized satellite dispensers and avionics systems compliant with NASA’s ISS payload interfaces. Nanoracks enables academic and government researchers to conduct experiments in low Earth orbit by providing turnkey access to space through modular, flight-qualified platforms, with demonstrated proficiency in supporting complex biological studies, such as tardigrade dormancy and reproduction in microgravity, and human factors research involving electronic displays under reduced gravity conditions. The contractor maintains a primary relationship with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, delivering mission-critical research support across physical sciences, engineering, and educational outreach initiatives. Work includes supporting NASA’s STEM engagement programs like HUNCH, integrating student-designed hardware into orbital missions, and providing technical services for space test programs. The agency relies on Nanoracks for reliable, repeatable access to the ISS for both experimental payloads and small satellite deployments. Nanoracks operates primarily under NAICS 541712 and 541715, focusing on non-biotech, non-nanotech research and development in physical and engineering sciences, with supplementary work in space vehicle component manufacturing under 336419. This positions the company as a niche provider of orbital research infrastructure, bridging the gap between academic experimentation and operational spaceflight systems. Nanoracks, LLC is a limited liability company headquartered in Webster, Texas, with no federal certifications on record. The firm serves as a specialized contractor within the U.S. government’s space research ecosystem, leveraging its technical agility and flight-proven hardware platforms to support high-value, low-volume science missions in orbit.
